I haven’t been blogging much lately but I assure you I have been busy crafting. I’m not going to apologize again for not turning it all into paragraphs and pictures straight away but I can promise there is plenty to be shared. In the mean time I am unapologetically enjoying that I have work to do, sun to bask in, and new crafting adventures to indulge.

While I do all this, I thought I’d share some work by Ken Baily. Someday he will line my kitchen walls with two of my favorite things…dogs and food.

I love this fashion design-esq illustration mixed with collage. EstaSketch is an Australian based artist that works in the 2D medium and creates some really wonderful original pieces for sale in her etsy store. She has a great collection of similar human figure drawings mixed with paint color swatches called “Colour theory”. I really recommend checking out her shop….I even like the way she’s displayed her drawings with paper clamps.

The new books are all stitched up and will be added to the Megnificent Made Etsy store this week. Just as a reference, I’ll be explaining here the different options available for the new book!

The new book is hand-made with quality cotton fabrics. There is a velcro closure and cardboard backing for a sturdy writing and drawing surface. This book has 4 pockets sewn in for pens and pencils, as well as a fabric flap to protect your paper.

When you select and order your fabric book from the Megnificent Made store you will have two options to go with it.

The Artist’s Pack

The Artist’s pack is the perfect carry along for those that love to sketch. Along with your fabric book, you will receive a collection of sketch pencils and the book will be filled with sketch paper. The book is easy to refill at any time with paper of your choice.

The Writer’s Pack

The Writer’s Pack makes a beautiful journal or notebook for those that love to write. With the purchase of your fabric book you will receive lined paper, blue and black pens, and pencils. The book can be refilled at anytime with paper of your choice, or an extra pack of our lined paper can be sent free of charge.

When you order your book from the Megnificent Made Store please specify which of these packs you would like to accompany your book.

I’ve come across a lovely Sydney based artist named Kate Banazi that works mostly in silk screen.

I LOVE silk screened art as it is one of the first times I really got involved in design and discovered how much i love it. It’s something I’d like to get into again once I have the money to invest in quality inks and screens.

Her prints are beautiful and dizzying combination of graphic, color and shape. There is so much fine texture overlapping they feel like they’re in motion.

I also like the way she combines photographic images with a vintage feel, with boldly colored graphic patterns.

It’s not as though I’ve found one I don’t like yet but I really love this one:

I’d like to send out a thank you to pretty*swell at prettyswell.wordpress.com. She took the time to make a lovely post about my etsy store. Please take the time to stop by her blog and see what creative work she’s been up to!
